Moral Scenario 2 - Screw me, Pay me - What would you do?

            Here’s another scenario. Say you are getting your doctorate degree and your father is paying for it. One day your father calls you telling you that he has lost his job and can no longer pay for your doctorates. While you are at the hospital that you work at you print your insane bill to pay for your schooling, and coincidentally the handsome son of one of your patients shows up to ask you out to dinner. You accept. The dinner date is going amazingly well; you guys have many things in common and connect really well. As the end of the date is nearing, the guy says “You know, I’m flying back to New York in the morning, but this date is going so well. I was wondering if you would like to come back to the hotel with me?” You respond “Look, I agree completely and have to say that I’ve had a great time, but I’m not one to go home with someone on the first night, especially if it’s only one night.” And then he responds “I know that it’s the only night, that’s why we should take advantage of it. I don’t want to intrude, but I couldn’t help but notice the outrageous bill that you printed out at the hospital. I was thinking that maybe I could help you out. I could give you $5,000 to help pay off the bill, and you could come back to the hotel with me.” You could gain $5,000 and sleep with a super handsome guy with whom you have great chemistry, or go home without the money or the man. What would you do?
